I Could Have Danced All Night
Dancing through the Night: A Heart's Flight of Excitement
Lyrics
Bed, bed I couldn't go to bed
Unable to go to bed
My head's too light to try to set it down
Feeling too exhilarated to rest my head
Sleep, sleep I couldn't sleep tonight
Unable to sleep tonight
Not for all the jewels in the crown
Not even for valuable treasures
I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night
Expressing a desire to dance throughout the night
And still have begged for more
Could have danced endlessly and still desired more
I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things
Could have explored new possibilities and experiences
I've never done before
Referring to unexplored opportunities
I'll never know what made it so exciting
Expressing uncertainty about the source of excitement
Why all at once my heart took flight
Suddenly experiencing intense emotions
I only know when he began to dance with me
Recalling the exhilaration when dancing with a partner
I could have danced, danced, danced all night
Reiterating the desire to dance all night
It's after three now
Indicating the late hour
Don't you agree now?
Asking for agreement on the late hour
She ought to be in bed
Suggesting the need for rest
I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night
Repeating the desire to dance continuously
And still have begged for more
Could have danced endlessly and still desired more
I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things
Could have explored new possibilities and experiences
I've never done before
Referring to unexplored opportunities
I'll never know what made it so exciting
Expressing uncertainty about the source of excitement
Why all at once my heart took flight
Suddenly experiencing intense emotions
I only know when he began to dance with me
Recalling the exhilaration when dancing with a partner
I could have danced, danced, danced all night
Reiterating the desire to dance all night
I understand dear
Expressing understanding
It's all been grand dear
Reflecting on the greatness of the experience
But now it's time to sleep
Indicating it's time to sleep
I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night
Repeating the desire to dance continuously
And still have begged for more
Could have danced endlessly and still desired more
I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things
Could have explored new possibilities and experiences
I've never done before
Referring to unexplored opportunities
I'll never know what made it so exciting
Expressing uncertainty about the source of excitement
Why all at once my heart took flight
Suddenly experiencing intense emotions
I only know when he began to dance with me
Recalling the exhilaration when dancing with a partner
I could have danced, danced, danced all night
Reiterating the desire to dance all night
